KEA KCET and NEET UG 2025 Offline Document Verification for Clauses B to Z

 

 

The Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) has issued a critical reminder to all KCET and UG NEET 2025 candidates claiming eligibility under Clauses B to Z (excluding A and Y) or special reservation categories. These candidates must appear for offline, in-person document verification at the KEA Office in Bengaluru. This verification is essential for these candidates to be considered under their respective eligibility clauses and reservation categories during the seat allotment process.

Mandatory In-Person Verification at the KEA Office

Unlike the online document verification process applicable to general merit category applicants or those under Clause A, candidates claiming specific reservation or eligibility benefits must physically present at the KEA KCET and NEET UG 2025 office with all necessary original documents and attested copies.

This step is indispensable for validating claims made under various eligibility clauses and reservation categories. Without completing this process, no candidate can claim benefits under Clauses B to Z or any designated special categories.

Candidates Required to Attend Offline Verification

The following categories of candidates are specifically directed to attend the offline verification session:

1. Candidates Claiming Eligibility Under Clauses B to Z (Excluding A and Y)

These clauses define eligibility for various reservation categories such as rural quota, Kannada medium studies outside Karnataka, wards of defence personnel, children of government employees, and other specific domicile or background-based criteria. Each clause has a set of prescribed documentary requirements, and eligibility is contingent on physical verification.

2. Candidates Claiming Reservation Under Special Categories

Candidates who have claimed seats under any of the following special reservation categories must also appear for offline verification:

• Defence Services (serving and ex-servicemen)
  
  
• CAPF (Central Armed Police Forces, including CRPF, BSF, ITBP, etc.)
  
  
• NCC (National Cadet Corps)
  
  
• Scouts & Guides
  
  
• Anglo-Indian Community
  
  

These reservations are granted only after rigorous scrutiny of documents issued by competent authorities and require personal presence during verification.

Official Deadlines for Verification

The KEA KCET and NEET UG 2025 has fixed strict deadlines for verification depending on the nature of the claim:

Failure to report in person by these dates will result in forfeiture of eligibility under the respective clause or category.

No. Clause A candidates undergo online document verification. Offline verification is mandatory only for Clauses B to Z and specific special reservation categories.

Q2. I applied under both Clause I (Rural) and NCC. Do I need separate verifications?
No. A single visit to the KEA KCET and NEET UG 2025 Office is sufficient. During the same session, both clause-based and category-based documents will be verified.

Q3. What if I miss the last date for verification?
Missing the deadline will permanently disqualify you from availing benefits under the respective clause or category. You will only be considered under the general merit quota.
